_Another Who Likes Interplanetary Stories_

Dear Editor:

I have read the first issue of Astounding Stories with much
pleasure, and if the first issue is any indication of what
is to follow I will continue to be a reader.

You inquire as to the kind of stories that your readers
think should be published. I think you will find the most
popular brand to be interplanetary stories and stories along
the line of the "Beetle Horde." Best wishes for success in
your new endeavor--F. C. Cowherd, Room 333, L. & N.

_Attention, Joiners!_

Dear Editor:

I have just finished one of the stories in your magazine,
and could not resist the temptation to write and tell you
how much I enjoyed it. The stories are great and are just
the thing to give one rest and recreation. At the same time
they fire imagination and are not trashy love stories.

The main purpose of the letter is to revive an old idea and
see if I can put it through. I propose to organize a
correspondence society for readers interested in science. We
would use Astounding Stories as our official medium. Each
member would receive a list of members' names and addresses,
a quantity of official stationery for inter-correspondence,
and a certificate of membership suitable for framing.

The object would be the discussion of scientific topics and
the latest advances.

I would suggest an annual fee of $2.50 to cover the cost of
printing stationery, certificates, application forms, copy
of the constitution, lists of members and official pins.

All those interested in the formation of such a society are
earnestly requested to write me, giving suggestions as to a
suitable name, etc. They will receive full information, and
a sample of the certificate of membership and an application
form.

I trust you will publish this letter at your earliest
convenience--M. R. Bercovitch, B. Sc., 4643 St. Urbain
Street, Montreal, Canada.

_Sound Criticism_

Dear Editor:

You ask for readers to write you regarding types of stories
desired. Well, I am an electrical engineer and of course
like my yarns to have a touch of science in them. Also I
